I suspect that i will be modifying the perk trees regardless, after the 1.3 patch hits. I still like the idea of Lethal on Rangers, more so than rupture. Combat Fitness also never struck me as a Master level perk, when compared to things like Sweeper, Serial, AMF, etc.... so I will probably move tha...

Looking at these two armors, it seems to me that EXO is a landslide winner. Yes, you lose the one armor, and get one less HP, but being able to bring a Shredder Gun to battle is a huge plus. Give that it has decent range, shreds armor, and can clear cover, it seems foolish not to equip all your guys...

Since Coil weapons penetrate armor, and Plasma do not, plasma only does a little more damage in comparison. Given just how expensive these weapons are, I find myself just sticking to Coil and never moving on. Since Shredstorm cannon is better than Blaster Launcher, I literally cannot think of any re...

I have looked at Lethal, and thought that it seems like an ideal perk for a ranger, who tends to have high aim and shoots a lot. Would that be OP? Assaults have it available, but it is competing with Street Sweeper. For rangers, it seems like decent competition for Killzone and Rupture for a soldier...

Yea, but now I will cry about having to choose between Revival and Combat.

Does anyone know if Shredder Gun/Cannon and 0% missions are being addressed as well?

I think it is excellent. It makes stealth a lot more sensible, and you no longer have to be afraid that the one spot on the rooftop you go to just happens to be in range of some random mook, and you get spotted. It probably makes the stealth easier, but I don't take issue with that. Patch 1.3 is sup...

What decides exactly when they get to use Laser for example? DO they just take from a pool of your own items? But I recall seeing rebels with Laser shotguns, even when I never built one.

We basically have two options here, either make Advent NOT attack bound units, OR, make the tongue pull not work against Full Cover and/or Hunker down. While on the topic, Advent will also attack your mind-controlled units. This one, while technically also smart, is a bit counter intuitive, since if...

I cry everytime I have to choose between Combat Protocol and Medical Protocol.

So, we know that the Avenger contributes about 4 rebels worth on Intel, but what if there was an option to let it do something else? You may be in a situation where you don't really need to find missions, or you are in greater need of supplies or rebels. Could it be possible to allow the Avenger to ...

I really hope they don't just nerf them. By making EXO and WAR more expensive/better, it would also be an indirect nerf to those shred guns, because you couldn't field them as quickly. Tbh, Shredstorm cannon should only be mountable on a WAR suit. That, combined with the WAR suit having better stats...

Currently, EXO suits are somewhat overpowered, mainly because they allow you to use Shredder Guns (and cannons), for what is a relatively minor cost. The trade-off was supposed to be the fact that they offer less protection. But as we have learned, a Shredder Gun is much, much better than one extra ...

Thanks, this will help me rework current trees.

But what do I do to "just use" these perks, without bringing the rest of the mod over?

Or should I just use the mod, but rename classes/rework the trees from scratch to effectively recreate the original classes?

Is it possible in any way to implement a system where instead of choosing 1 out of three give perks, you can choose any perks that you have revealed so far? For example, a Specialist chooses Combat Protocol as the first perk. Under this new system, on second level up, the Specialist could pick any o...

If I have a mod, like Shadow Ops, is there way to just add the perks to the perk pool, without replacing the classes, if, for example, I want to rework existing classes and update them with those new perks?

I think that aliens SHOULD fire at a bound enemy, since that is the smart thing to do. That being said, I am all in favor of the mod that makes the tongue grab not work against Full Cover. Also, a soldier should be immune while hunkering down, for basically the same reason. Having a hunkering solide...

So I wanted to post this thread for people to pool ideas about how to make more balanced and interesting classes. Some of the perk choices didn't sit too well with me, so I started digging around the perks trees. So far, I have given Shinobi Combat Fitness instead of Serial, since I don't understand...
